Notes
The extraordinary story of the brave women who led the Italian Resistance during World War II. Ada, Frida, Silvia, Bianca, four young women from Piedmont who fought like thousands of men and women to liberate Italy. They joined the resistance after the Germans occupied their country, and in the mountains surrounding Turin, they lived in secret, where Ada's house became a destination and refuge for many resistant women. The end of Mussolini's fascist rule, which lasted for two decades, was violent and merciless. But the exceptional courage shown by the revolutionaries made them a cohesive fighting force.
